New Apple Displays

I doubt it. The cost of resources to redesign and retool a new design is very high. The LED display has only been out for a bit over a year. When the cost of 30-inch LED panels drop to a reasonable price we should see the introduction of the bigger model in the new design motif.
In my opinion, not for a while. Currently, it doesn't make much sense for a product that sits on a desktop to have a touch screen display. The keyboard and mouse is the dominant input paradigm and it will take some time for that to shift to touchscreen based input.
New displays would likely not be announced any sooner than with an update to the Mac Pro (sometime in late Q1 or early Q2 2010).
A 27" display using the same panel as the new iMac or in a 16:10 ratio would be an obvious one to expect.

I doubt the 24" LED will get updated anytime soon, but I am surprised that they have yet to release a 21.5" CDP.
It's definitely possible but I personally don't see it happening. The market for a panel that size is diminishing.
At first I was holding off, but then I just gave in and bought the 24 on Tuesday. Its beautiful, and it also occurred to me that I'd rather have 16:10 than 16:9. I use my computer for working, not for watching movies.
This is a question not an attack. Do you think displays are part of the "Holiday Lineup"?
Please, please, please give us a 21.5" LED display.
why?
i think 24" is just perfect, thou
why?
Because there are some people who do not want to spend $900 on a display, or who may not want something that big.
Apple has made a great thing by making the new iMac 21.5" display support 1920x1200, so you get the same resolution, HD ready benefit as the 24" display, but in a cheaper, smaller, and lighter package, which also some people may appreciate....such as a person like me

Umm the 21.5" LED wouldn't be that much cheaper. It would most likely be between $600 and $700. I mean it is only 2.5" smaller.
I don't know about the others, but the 24" LED is absolutely amazing. It has the best picture quality I have ever seen on a computer display.
My guess is they will ditch the 24" and introduce a 21.5", 27" and maybe 30"-32" inch display at once. All 16:9. I see this happening Q1 or Q2 2010. It doesn't make sense to keep the 24" now that it isn't used in a iMac anymore. But a 27" ACD would have to fairly cheap in order to compete with the iMac. Something I would love to see

This is what I think / would like to happen. Besides, the iMac features this metal borderless screen that makes the screen itself more present. It is possible that the ACDs adopt this feature.
